Description

Syntax

Initialization

idur -- the duration over which the
movement takes place.

ispread -- spreading of the virtual source
(range 0 - 100). If value is zero, conventional amplitude panning
is used. When ispread is increased, the
number of loudspeakers used in panning increases. If value is 100,
the sound is applied to all loudspeakers.

ifldnum -- number of fields (absolute value must be 2 or larger). If ifldnum is positive, the virtual source movement is a polyline specified by given directions. Each transition is performed in an equal time interval. If ifldnum is negative, specified angular velocities are applied to the virtual source during specified relative time intervals (see below).

Performance

asig -- audio signal to be panned

vbap4move allows the use of moving virtual sources. If ifldnum is positive, the fields represent directions of virtual sources and equal times, iazi1, [iele1,] iazi2, [iele2,], etc. The position of the virtual source is interpolated between directions starting from the first direction and ending at the last. Each interval is interpolated in time that is fraction total_time / number_of_intervals of the duration of the sound event.

If ifldnum is negative, the fields represent angular velocities and equal times. The first field is, however, the starting direction, iazi1, [iele1,] iazi_vel1, [iele_vel1,] iazi_vel2, [iele_vel2,] .... Each velocity is applied to the note that is fraction total_time / number_of_velocities of the duration of the sound event. If the elevation of the virtual source becomes greater than 90 degrees or less than 0 degrees, the polarity of angular velocity is changed. Thus the elevational angular velocity produces a virtual source that moves up and down between 0 and 90 degrees.

Warning

Please note that all vbap panning opcodes require the vbap system to be initialized using vbaplsinit.

Examples

See the entry for vbap8move for an example of usage of the vbapXmove opcodes.
